Doubling up! I’ve taken a second sample of loose material from this sandy ripple. #SamplingMars this way adds a new dimension to my other rock cores. See why both engineers and scientists could learn a lot from this material: go.nasa.gov/3iJ9iCy

NASA's Perseverance Rover Gets the Dirt on Mars

The mission’s first two samples of regolith – broken rock and dust – could help scientists better understand the Red Planet and engineers prepare for future missions there.

New achievement unlocked! After taking 15 rock cores and one atmospheric sample, I now have my third sample type: “regolith” (loose, sandy material). This specialized, hollow drill bit is another great tool for #SamplingMars.

Reading the Ripples at Observation Mountain - NASA

After spending over 600 sols (days on Mars) exploring the diverse geologic environment of Jezero crater, collecting drilled rock cores (and one atmospheric sample) along the way, Perseverance recently spent some time parked near a large sand ripple n…

My collection is growing! 🪨 I’ve now got my 15th rock core: a nice piece of sandstone.

Up next, I’m heading back to a nearby dune to break out a new tool – my regolith collection bit – for gathering loose, sandy material. #SamplingMars continues…

It was a challenge, but we persevered. Thankful for my team back at @NASAJPL, who helped me troubleshoot and successfully seal my sample tube for rock core #14. Three cheers for interplanetary teamwork! 🦾💪

Meanwhile back on Earth, the #MarsRoverTour rolls on! Twins of myself and the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter have landed in #Albuquerque, New Mexico. Meet @nasa team members at the exhibit’s grand opening, this weekend at @NMMNHS. #PerseveranceRover

Do I geek out about cool-looking sandstone? You bet. A shallow scouring with my drill’s abrasion bit shows this rock has veins of lighter material inside. Could it hold clues about ancient life? Time for more #SamplingMars. More on “Yori Pass”: go.nasa.gov/3AnIv4Q #PerseveranceRover

NASA's Perseverance Rover Investigates Intriguing Martian Bedrock

Exploring a sediment-rich location in this Mars delta offers tantalizing opportunities for the six-wheeler’s science team.

I’ve got over a dozen rock cores on board, with many more samples to come. Meanwhile, @nasa and @ESA are preparing the extraction team. Check out the bold plan that would bring these samples safely back to Earth in the early 2030s. mars.nasa.gov/msr #PerseveranceRover

Mars Sample Return - NASA

NASA and ESA are working to plan ways to bring the first samples of Mars rocks and soil back to Earth for detail study.

Still working on a fix to seal my latest rock sample. With my bore sweeping tool, I’m aiming to clean the tube opening to remove any dust preventing the seal. Results look promising, so meanwhile I'm off to explore a new place called “Yori Pass.” Blog: go.nasa.gov/3hcSBP0 #PerseveranceRover nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…

Sealing Sample 14 - NASA

The team is making progress identifying and implementing a fix that will allow a seal to cap off the rover’s latest rock sample.

After a couple weeks of driving, I’m back at “Enchanted Lake,” scoping out my next potential spot for #SamplingMars. What do these rocks have to say about the earliest history of the lake that used to be here? Let’s find out. Latest team blog: go.nasa.gov/3So6JCl #PerseveranceRover nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…

Once Upon A Rover - NASA

Once upon a time - early 2013 - there was a small corner room in the Flight Projects building at JPL where the walls and windows were coated in pages and pages of paper.
